This important paper generalises to Europe what was theorized and shown in the Netherlands over a decade ago by @catherinedevries.bsky.social, @hakhverdian.bsky.social and @bramlancee.bsky.social. Left-right self-placements are becoming more associated with immigration attitudes over time in Europe

‼️ New paper with Ian McAllister (ANU) out at @respol.bsky.social. We use @ess-survey.bsky.social data to study over-time changes in the association between education and left-right self-placements.

We wrote a blog post about our recent paper in @polbehavior.bsky.social, where we discuss whether political participation is associated with better policy representation #polisky

The Loop@ecprtheloop.bsky.social · 5mo ago

🪧 Politically active people are better represented than inactive citizens, write @jesperlindqvist.bsky.social, @jenny-oser.bsky.social, @rdassonneville.bsky.social, @professormpersson.bsky.social & A Sundell. 📊 But do they affect policy outcomes any better than inactive people? 👉️ bit.ly/41lkPep

‼️ New paper out in @polbehavior.bsky.social ! We ask whether the politically active (in terms of electoral or other forms of participation) are better represented? See Jesper's detailed 🧵 below for more info on the paper! 👇

Political participation is considered an important path for people to influence politics. However, whether those who participate actually see more of their preferred policies implemented remains an op...

Happy to see our study out! Our main takeaway is that while poor voters vote less often, are less ideologically aligned with their preferred party, and see their preferred party less often in government - voting still does not seem to explain unequal representation.

📘 64.4 @jesperlindqvist.bsky.social, @professormpersson.bsky.social, W.Schakel & A.Sundell look at 🗳️ voters’ policy preferences often misalign with what they get in practice with the study showing how this “electoral connection” gap contributes to unequal outcomes #OA 🔗

EPSS@epssnet.bsky.social · last yr.

EPSA have announced that they will hold a conference in July 2026. 😵‍💫 We understand that there might be some confusion about EPSS and EPSA. 👉🏽 So we thought we would clarify some things. A short 🧵

Jesper Lindqvist@jesperlindqvist.bsky.social · last yr.

Great to see this finally out! It's an interesting paper because we examine whether unequal representation is caused by how low- and high-income people vote (for example ideological voting). Our findings goes against this idea, meaning that unequal representation must be caused by something else!

What is the core difference between ‘left’ and ‘right’ in politics? New paper out in @ActaPolitica where I show that acceptance of inequality separates left- and right-wing individuals in both Eastern and Western Europe, contrary to previous research. link.springer.com/article/10.1... Polisky

Eastern Europe is no exception: acceptance of inequality and left–right politics - Acta Politica

Many scholars suggest that the left–right dimension can be simplified to a conflict over how much inequality should be accepted in society. Yet, studies on Eastern Europe indicate that acceptance of i...
